Schwarzenegger Calls Democrats 'losers'

Not only that but when he was asked "Would you listen to any Democrats' tax proposals or flatly reject them?"

He said why should I listen to losers.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he won't listen to "losers'' in the Democrat-controlled Legislature who advocate raising taxes to close a looming
budget deficit as he announced that former South Bay Republican Rep. Tom Campbell will head his finance department.

Campbell, a social moderate, will take a leave from his current job as the dean of the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley to join the
administration, replacing Donna Arduin, who left after just a year.

The director of finance plays a pivotal role in shaping the state's budget as the state continues to face large deficits, perhaps as much as a $10
billion shortfall next year.

Schwarzenegger praised Campbell as "the most brilliant person in California" at a press conference announcing his selection.

"What I like most about Tom is that he thinks the same way I do," the governor said. "He is going to be very, very helpful to continue to put
California on the road to recovery."

When asked if he would consider tax-increase proposals put forward by Democrats to help balance the budget, Schwarzenegger said, "Why would I listen
to losers? Let's be honest -- they have lost every single ballot in the Bay Area."

"Why would we go and follow a losing formula? It doesn't make any sense," he added. A spokeswoman for the governor said the governor was referring
to the ballot measures as losers, not the lawmakers.

Honestly, who cares about this bickering anymore. The fact is there are both Democrats and Republicans running this country. Get over it, there is
no political monopoly. Realize that this country is going to be run by BOTH parties until the next election.
